Over the past few months, the Admissions team has been on the road, meeting prospective Kellogg MBA students in their respective hometowns. What a great opportunity it has been to see the world and talk to those who could potentially become part of the Kellogg MBA Class of 2016!

During these trips, our alumni were incredibly welcoming and generous, giving their time as panelists, network connections and hosts to those considering the MBA program. Time and time again we saw how our alumni “pay it forward” to others, which is truly a characteristic that differentiates our alumni and makes the Kellogg alumni network so valuable.

While we finish up some travel, we are also making plans to welcome many of the prospective students we have met in Evanston for one of several on-campus Preview Days during the months of October and November. Our students, faculty, staff and deans are excited to help others learn about all of the incredible opportunities at Kellogg through targeted events, like the Specialized Program Preview Day for candidates interested in the One-Year MBA, MMM or JD-MBA programs, Diversity Weekend, hosted in partnership with the Africa Business Club (ABC), Black Management Association (BMA) and Hispanic Management Association (HMA), and many more.

If you are able to join us, make sure to plan an extra day to rent a bike and ride along the lakefront path, check out some of the world class museums, see a show or catch a football game (Northwestern University is ranked #16 in the polls this week). We love hosting students in Chicago and Evanston during the fall months and hope you’ll be able to attend one of the following:

Registration for each of these events opens one month prior, so mark your calendars because space is limited. And if you still have questions, email us at MBAadmissions@kellogg.northwestern.edu.

We hope to see you soon!
